Test-clip.



and the tension of the spring 20 is suii'icient to hold it in place and to kinsure positive electrical connection being made.

Having thus described my invention what I desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A test clip comprising an S-shaped bracket having -two loops, a plunger mechanism for cooperating with said bracket, said plunger mechanism comprising a base upon which is mounted a pointed plunger, said plunger being arranged to pass through one of said loops, a tension spring surrounding said plunger to force the pointed end ofsaid 3. A test clip comprising an S-shaped* bracket having two loops, a plunger mechanisin comprising a base for supporting a pointed plunger, said plunger arranged to pass entirely through one of said loops, and to project into the other of said loops, a tension spring and a collar, said collar being fastened to said plunger, said tension spring arranged to surround said plunger and 'interposed between said collar and said bracket to maintain the pointed end of said plunger e through one of said loops, said tension spring arranged to surround 45. plunger into the other of said loops and to within the other lof said loops.

4. A test clip comprising an S-shaped member having two loops, plunger mechanism for coperating with said bracket comprising a base and a plunger mounted thereon, said plunger arranged to pass entirely a tension spring,

said plunger and force the free end of said maintain said base in engagement with the f outer surface of said bracket, the outer surface of said bracket and said base serving to clamp an electrical conductor.

5. A- test clip com rising an S-shaped bracket, a plunger medhanism for coperating therewith comprising a base for supporting a plunger, a disk surrounding said plunger, said plunger arranged to pass entirely through one of said loops, a tension spring, said tension spring arranged to surround said plunger and interposed between said disk and bracket and to force the free end into the other of said loops for engagement with an electrical conductor, the outer surface of the opposite loop and the base of said plunger mechanism also serving as a clamping device for an electrical conductor.

6. In a device of the class described, the combination of an S-shaped bracket provided with two loops, plunger mechanism coperating with said bracket comprising a base and a pointed plunger mounted thereon, said plunger arranged to pass through one of said loops and project into the other of said loops into engagement with an electrical conductor, a tension spring, said tension spring surrounding said Aplunger for maintaining said mechanism in place, the base of said mechanism provided with a terminal for attaching an electrical conductor so that direct connection is made between the electrical conductor in said loop and the" electrical conductor fastened to said base.

7 In a device of the class described, the combination of an S-shaped bracket having two loops, one of said loops being provided with a recess for accommodating an electrical conductor, the other of said loops being provided with projections, plunger mechanism comprising a base upon which is mounted a plunger, said plunger arranged to pass through the last mentioned loop and project within the first mentioned loop, a tension sprin and disk, said disk arranged to be fastene to said plunger, said spring surrounding said plunger and interposed between said disk and said bracket, a terminal for said base for attaching van electrical conductor, said plunger forming direct connection between said electrical conductor and the electrical conductor within said recess.

In testimony whereof I aiiX my signature inthe presence of two witnesses.
